| Manaslu Expedition |
Located in Central Nepal in the remote Gorkha region of
Nepal, Manaslu is the 8th highest peak in the world at 8,163 meters and has a
reputaion as one of the "achievable" 8,000m mountain. Climbing
Manaslu can a great training climb for aspiring Everest climbers or as an
alternative to Cho Oyu for those who want to climb a m ore varied and
challenging 8,000er.
Derived from the Sanskrit word, Manasa, meaning
"intellect" or "soul", Manaslu means "Mountain of the
Spirit". Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and
Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition.
Manaslu has six different routes with the north-east ridge
route as the standard route whereas the south face is the toughest in climbing
history. Manaslu base camp can be reached by trekking a week or flying in and
out of base camp by helicopter to save time but then need to spend time
acclimatizing before going higher.
From the base camp, the climbing route follows a
relatively straightforward line to the summit, which has few technical
sections. Normally, four camps are set up during Manaslu climbing. The climbing
from Camp 1 to Camp 4 is harder on Manaslu than on Everest but the summit night
on Manaslu is easier and much shorter than on Everest.
